Percentage of Never Married Adults Is on the Rise
About Makeover Monday
MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”
Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.
The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week’s dataset is super interesting – it looks at the % of US population never married by age bucket and gender. The original article is posted on census.gov with detailed explanation of the data and additional infomation on races
My Visualization
As this dataset has three dimensions (year, gender, and age bucket) and there are some obvious pattern across each dimension, I made a slope line chart to show the trend.
